Environmental Policy

• Promote sustainable development and
  profitable growth. Integrate environmental,
  economic and social perspectives into business
  strategies so that business activities are
  implemented in harmony with human lives and with
  the environment in all aspects.
• The concept is to make steady progress toward
  resolution of environmental challenges based on
  quantitative measurement and analysis of reliable
  date in regard to environmental performance and
  impact. This basic concept is demonstrated in the
  following affirmation
• Management Based On Facts
• Working toward a sustainable society as a global
  citizenIn response to the call for a sustainable
  society, conduct business activities from the
  perspective of on-going enhancement of
  performance in environmental preservation,
  economic growth and social responsibilities
  (ethics). Every one of us will enhance its
  knowledge and awareness on the environment,
  economies and societies on a global scale and act
  with responsibility in pursuit of a sustainable
  society.
• Compliance with laws and other requirementsComply
  with legal requirements in respective countries
  and regions, as well as Group standards. In
  addition, respect, in an equitable manner,
  expectations of stakeholders and consensus in the
  international community.

Environmental Policy

• Consideration for the environment throughout the
  entire life cycle of products and servicesBe
  committed to reducing the environmental load in
  all stages throughout the entire life cycle of
  products and services, recognizing that
  responsibility for a product rests with its
  manufacture.
• Initiatives to counter global warmingContinuously
  reduce greenhouse gas emissions that derive from
  business activities from the perspective of the
  life cycle of products and services throughout
  the entire Group, recognizing that global warming
  is one of the most important world issues.
• Initiatives toward a recycling-oriented
  societyReview what we can do as a corporate
  citizens in order to create recycling-oriented
  society while striving for minimizing consumption
  of natural resources and promoting Zero Waste
  Emission activities. In addition, we will
  accelerate initiatives for the recovery and
  recycling of end-of-life products and packaging
  materials.

5
Environmental Policy

• Prevention of chemical pollution and minimization
  of potential risks to the environment.Take every
  countermeasure for preventing chemical
  pollutions, recognizing that chemical substances
  can impose significant impact on human health and
  safety and the environment. At the same time,
  continuously suppress use of chemicals and reduce
  discharge volume in order to minimize
  environmental risks.
• Promotion of information disclosureExecute
  accountability to all the stakeholders by
  actively disclosing environmental information and
  ensuring risk communication. Make every effort to
  accomplish commitment to the societies.
  Environmental Policy is to be disclosed to the
  public.
• Establishment of environmental objectives and
  targetsEstablish and administer environmental
  objectives, targets, and management programs to
  translate this Environmental Policy into reality.
  Continuously review such objectives, targets and
  programs for further improvement of environmental
  performance.

6
Environmental Management System

• Use the ISO 14001-based environmental management
  system as part of efforts regarding group-wide
  environmental activities, which are based on
  unified criteria, stipulating ISO 14001
  acquisitions by all manufacturing affiliate
  companies worldwide as a fundamental Group
  policy.
• To address environmental issues, including the
  prevention of global warming and working toward a
  recycling-based society, implement measures in
  consideration of the entire product lifecycle. To
  accomplish this, the Konica Minolta Group
  believes that it must operate not only its
  manufacturing sites, but also its product
  development, sales and distribution sites, under
  an integrated management system and in mutual
  cooperation.
• Based on this concept, in Japan, acquire
  multi-site ISO 14001 certification, so that the
  entire Group can be managed under a single ISO
  certification. This has enabled prompt and
  efficient environmental activities throughout all
  product lifecycle stages. Under this integrated
  management system, work to reduce environmental
  impact. For instance, promote the sales of
  energy-saving products that help reduce CO2
  emissions when products are in use, and are
  encouraging the collection of used products. This
  system is also effective in carrying out
  activities toward minimizing the environmental
  load generated directly by companies, such as
  energy consumption during production, waste
  generation, and paper consumption.

7
ISO 14001 continued

• For these activities, set up numerical targets.
  The entire Group periodically evaluates how well
  these targets are being achieved, and evaluation
  results are fed back to relevant entities to
  ensure continuous improvement.
• Additionally, at least once a year conduct
  internal environmental audits based on unified
  criteria, to ensure that the Group's
  environmental policy, objectives and targets are
  properly known to all organizations, and that the
  management system is functioning efficiently, by
  identifying any problems and making necessary
  improvements. In these internal audits, in
  addition to management system checking,
  compliance audits are performed using
  environmental checklists, to ensure that all
  Group organizations are fully compliant with laws
  and regulations.
• By making the maximum use of this integrated
  management system, work to ensure compliance,
  fulfilling its social responsibility by helping
  resolve urgent environmental issues relating to
  global warming and zero waste, and by reducing
  environmental risks.

Products

• As one of the worlds most respected
  technology innovators, helping customers speed
  the flow of information and expand the scope of
  digital imaging. In both manufacturing and
  product performance, strive to maximize
  efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
  Here are some of the many ways products save
  energy, reduce waste and promote recycling.

9
Toner Recycling system

• Original Toner Recycling System collects,
  recycles, and re-uses toner that is not
  transferred to the paper during the printing
  process in MFPs. This results in saving 20 of
  the toner from going to waste.

10
Power only where you need it

• In operation, optimize power consumption for each
  operating mode -- controlling the flow of power
  to save energy wherever possible. For example,
  when you print from a PC or receives a fax, the
  power supply is adjusted so that no electricity
  is sent to the scanner or to other idle sections
  of the product.

11
100 Duplex Capability

• 100 Duplex Capability. Another way that to
  protect
• the environment is by offering maximum efficiency
  in paper consumption. In
• providing standard or optional duplex
  capabilities. Users have the ability to print
• quickly and efficiently on both sides of each
  sheet
• without compromising output speed.
• With100 duplex productivity, copiers can
  produce two-sided
• copies and prints at full rated output speed to
  maintain high productivity while
• saving paper.

12
Designed with recycling in mind

• Plastic parts are made of recycled materials
  where possible.
• All plastic parts are marked to indicate the type
  of resin used.
• Labels that leave no adhesive residue are used.
• To simplify recycling, parts are designed so that
  they can be disassembled by a single person
  without special tools.

13
Toner Bottle Recycling

• Toner bottles should be made of HDPE, or High
  Density Polyethylene -- identified by the Society
  of the Plastics Industry (SPI) as one of the two
  types of plastics that can be recycled most
  economically. These toner bottles are designed
  to be collected and recycled at local facilities,
  reducing fuel and gas required by shipping.

14
Chemical Substance Control

• MFPs should contain none of the hazardous
  substances listed in the European Union's RoHS
  Directive.
• (These include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
  chromium, polybrominated biphenyls PBBs, and
  polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDEs.)

15
Outer Casing Plastics

• The outer casing partsof MFPs should be made
  from the same two types of plastic, creating a
  closed material-recycling loop for recycling
  plastics from end-of-life MFPs and incorporating
  them into the production of newer models. With
  this process, we have enabled the recycling of
  high purity plastics, recycling approximately 100
  tons of plastics annually

16
Recycling Plastics and Packaging Materials

• To recycle and re-use as many materials as
  possible, we use the same two types of plastic in
  outer casing parts for MFPs.
• Recycling facilities should be equipped with
  crushers and mechanisms that remove foreign
  matter to support this process, resulting in the
  recycling of 100 tons of plastic each year.
• Manufactures need to focuse on reducing and
  recycling packaging materials

17
Policy

• Industry should participate in a wide range of
  manufacturing and procurement programs to protect
  the environment -- and products must meet many
  eco-friendly international certification
  standards for energy conservation and recycling.

18
Reducing CO2 Emissions

• Industry needs to set target goals for CO2
  emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of our
  products -- including manufacturing,
  distribution, operation and disposal. The goal
  must be least be 20 reduction in CO2 emissions
  by the year 2010.

19
Restricting Hazardous Substances

• In July, 2006, the Restriction of Hazardous
  Substances Directive (RoHS) came into effect in
  the European market to restrict the use of lead,
  cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium and two
  types of polybromic fire retardants (PBB and
  BPDE). As of March, 2008, industry should have
  phased out these substances in all MFPs and
  printers.

20
Meeting Level 2 Zero Emission Standards

• In all manufacturing facilities, Industry should
  follow a strict program to minimize the volume of
  externally disposed waste. Manufacturing sites
  should have already met Level 1 criteria,
  including resource recovery rate over 90 with
  less than 5 final disposal rate.

21
Clean Planet Program

• Clean Planet Program
• Initiative to collect and recycle used toner
  cartridges
• Voluntary program offers free return of used
  toner
• Return shipping label included in each toner box
  or available online
• Over 2,000,000 consumables collected to date
  (U.S. Puerto Rico)
• Cartridges refurbished to new condition and
  reused
• Parts recycled from cartridges
• Cartridges disposed of through approved methods

22
Energy Star Program

• New guidelines were introduced in 2007, making it
  more difficult for copiers, printers and
  multifunctional devices to earn Energy Star
  labels it is critical that all imaging devices
  continue to achieve this certification.

23
Other Environmental Labeling Programs

• Eco-Mark certification that a product has low
  environmental impact as recognized by the Japan
  Environmental Association.
• International Energy Star this program,
  implemented under a joint U.S.-Japan agreement,
  uses the Energy Star mark to label energy-saving
  OA equipment that meets its guidelines.
• Blue Angel the worlds first environmental-protec
  tion label, introduced in Germany in 1978,
  certifies that products and services have low
  environmental impact.
• EcoLeaf a program that quantitatively identifies
  and discloses the environmental impact of
  products throughout their lifecycle.

24
Recycled Paper

• In an effort to further promote environmental
  conservation, Konica Minolta is constantly
  certifying specific brands of recycled papers for
  our bizhub MFPs, magicolor and PagePro printers.
• Please consult the public website for whatever
  Vendor you have and find a list of approved and
  tested recycled papers.

25
100 Post Consumer Recycled Paper Certification
Project

• New Leaf Encore 100
• 100 Post-Consumer Waste,
• Processed Chlorine Free
• Manufactured with electricity that is offset with
  Green-e
• certified renewable energy certificates.
• FSC certified
• Ancient Forest Friendly
• 92 Brightness

26
People

• The Goal of Zero Waste.
• Along with working to meet Level 2 and Level 3
  criteria for reducing waste
• and recovering resources, people are saving
  paper,
• preserving energy and minimizing environmental
  impact in their daily
• business activities. When you do dispose of
  office waste, disposal
• contractors must meet strict environmental
  criteria that include
• information about disposal practices,
  environmental technologies, and
• compliance with laws and regulations.
• Everyone should be aware of corporate
  environmental-protection
• goals and everyone needs to work together to
  reduce, recycle and preserve.

27
Environmental Protection a Team Effort

• As part of Japans commitment to the Kyoto
  Protocol environment-protection effort, a
• national campaign was launched to cut greenhouse
  gas emissions by 6.
• As of June, 2008, over 21,000 businesses and
  civil groups
• with more than 2,302,000 individuals have become
  members of Team Minus 6
• performing actions such as turning down air
  conditioners and thermostats, turning off
• faucets, unplugging appliances when not in use,
  driving cars more efficiently,
• Choosing eco-friendly products and saying no to
  excessive packaging. As
• their effects grow, we are committed to helping
  spread these activities
• throughout the world.

28
Global Activities

• As a global technology leaders, Industry needs to
  be dedicated to protecting the environment
• in many countries.
• Environmental efforts are summarized in regular
  publications and websites, including
• the Corporate Social Responsibility report issued
  each year. This comprehensive report
• covers management philosophy, energy-saving
  technology innovations, product
• safety enhancements, emission-reduction programs,
  recycling initiatives, social
• welfare programs and many other CSR activities.
• In addition, site reports are also published to
  provide detailed environmental information
• about our business and manufacturing sites in
  Japan. Industry provides environmental
• information at trade exhibitions and contribute
  to environmental education throughout the world.

29
Energy Saving Printing Tips

• Most products can be automatically programmed to
  save paper and enter Power Saving modes. Here
  are a few of our recommended printing tips
• Setting print drivers to Auto Duplex default.
• Setting each device to Auto Duplex default via
  its control panel or
• administrative software.
• Shifting each device to Power Save Setting
  after a selected interval.
• Printing presentation handouts and other
  documents at least 2 UP to combine
• several slides on one page.

30
Energy Saving Printing Tips cont.

• Using Proof Copy to verify that printing and
  finishing parameters are correct before making
  full print runs.
• Using energy-saving mode settings on MFPs outside
  of normal business hours.
• Printing to devices that are energy efficient,
  productive, and cost-effective -- even if this
  means expanding internal energy while walking
  away from our desks to use centrally located
  devices.
• Consolidating imaging devices with one centrally
  located MFP that uses less energy.
